Stewarding Your Gifts

We are all called to be good stewards of our earthly talents and blessings. Ultimately, everything we are and have belongs to Him! That’s why we take good stewardship seriously at Shalom. We are keenly aware of the fact that we need to use every dollar wisely, no matter if the funds come to us through tuition, financial gifts, or in-kind donations. 

Since we began this campaign in 2019, the costs of construction have increased dramatically. We have raised the original financial goal of the campaign to accommodate these elevated costs. We utilized a competitive bidding process for our general contractor on these project. Every subcontractor is also competitively bid out, with many subs having personal connections to Shalom. We are grateful for the many in-kind donations made by our partners on this project. 

Our committees and executive leadership have been working closely together to identify opportunities for cost savings. The goal of these capital improvements is to create an appealing and welcoming learning and growing environment for our students. The intention is not to be flashy or top-of-the-line. We are prayerfully making the best decisions possible with expert counsel and advice.
